Former Mountain Bike Champion Pleads Guilty

This is why marijuana prohibition does not work! LA Kush brings you some news.
Former mountain biking world champion Melissa (Missy) Giove pleaded guilty Tuesday to helping run a coast-to-coast marijuana smuggling ring.
She was arrested in upstate New York last June after one of the ring’s couriers was intercepted driving a truck carrying 158 kilograms of marijuana in Illinois and agreed to co-operate with authorities.
Giove pleaded guilty to a federal drug conspiracy charge Monday in Albany. She is expected to be sentenced March 25 to up to five years in prison.
Giove is 37 and lives in Chesapeake, Va. She was under surveillance when she met the courier and drove off with the truck. Authorities say she was taken into custody trying to unload the shipment at the Saratoga County home of another man charged in the case.By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
